An  adit is a (nearly) horizontal entrance to the underground, by which resources can be extracted or a mine can be entered, ventilated or drained of water. The visible portal of the adit is mapped as a node.

How to map

Place a node node at the entrance point to the adit from the surface and add man_made=adit.
